At present there are twelve sisters connected with the institution.

Women's Home, St. Paul, 1; Inner Mission work, St. Paul, 1; Paro­chial
work, First Lutheran church, St. Paul, 1; Jewish Mission work,
1; Bethesda Invalid Home, 1; Leave of absence, 1; Sick, 1; Deaconess
Home, 3.
During the year the Home has been remembered in many ways by
its numero.us friends. For every gift and kindness shown the Home,
we express our thanks. May God richly bless every giver in accordance
with His promise.
BETHESDA INVALID HOME
The executive committee for the Invalid Home has consisted of
Pastor J. E. Linner, chairman; Dr. J. T. Ahlstrom, secretary, and
Hon. J. A. Jackson. Sister Nellie Peterson has acted as deputy
treasurer. .
The committee has met from time to time, as circumstances have
required.
During the year 7 invalids have been received, 6 have died, and
2 have been dismissed. Forty-four have been cared for during the
year. On January 31, 1927, there were 31 inmates.
Last summer the whole interior of the Home was decorated and
other necessary improvements made.
Sister Nellie has continued to serve the Home as matron, and her
faithful service has been highly appreciated. A good farm ·manager
was secured last summer, but he was compelled to give up his work
in the fall owing to poor health. Since then we have had the usual
difficulty in securing a reliable man ·for this 'work.
Societies from several St. Paul churches and one from Minneapolis
have visited the Home and brought joy and cheer to the patients. The
Christian Service Auxiliary has also held meetings at the Home and
contributed much to the institution. We appreciate most highly the
interest shown by these Christian friends, and we pray God that He
may raise up many more friends who will remember this branch of
our work of mercy.
It will be noted from the financial report that the institution is in
good condition. However, it has been ascertained by an investiga­tion
into the back records that $45,026.69 of the debt of the former
Tabitha . Society which is now being carried by the Hospital is in fact
chargeable against the Invalid Home and should so be transferred.
